Surely torpor is the thing draculas enter into when they're exhausted.

YEEEEESSSSSSSSS. This will be good.

WHO WAKES ME FROM MY TORPOR?

Henry is out in the woods, when a new and hitherto unknown strain of malaria suddenly breaks out. Firewatch: Patient Zero.

I adore Steve's lock of hair so carelessly flung to the side. But I'm sure he has good teeth too, fine teeth, which will offer him a lifetime of chewing pleasure

I heard from a reputable source that there is exactly one (1) ghost hidden in the woods.

The pocket square is excellent and makes the suit.

It will make us feel good (the bustin').

And any 17th century disease for Dutchmen!

Symbolically compelling; Thrik.

Their game is this forum community, we've been playing it for over ten years and now finally it comes to fruition, bursting forth like a frothing Peter Molyneux from a cake.

CONGRATULATIONS Steve and the rest of Fullbright on winning the BAFTA!

Yes, it is so weird to me when I notice that my dad actually uses a comparable site as his homepage, as an actual news source.

Gadzooks!

I always pictured you as... your avatar.

Thrik, that recording of the military tattoo was in Edinburgh - I recognize it, 'cause I went there with my family some years ago. Recommended! A good tattoo is a sigh to see. Don't recall what year it was though, somewhere around 2008 or 2009.

Within the game world, for sure it was just a curse, since all the MI games afterwards took place in the Caribbean world with Guybrush as an adult. As for the original intention Gilbert had, it's anyone's guess.

I wonder if, in the Star Trek future we're all headed to in hundreds of years, people will see this movie as the most obvious indictment of man's flaws, whereas right now we're all unsure how much of a moral statement it makes.

Well, one thing the movie deliberately does is never, ever show us the victims: the thousands of people whom Jordan Belford swindled out of their savings with toxic penny stocks. The closest thing to a victim on screen isn't even on screen: In that sense, there is an effort on the film's part to downplay how heinous all of this was, beyond the personal effects on Belford (his health and relationships). I'm not critical at the movie about this, I've just noticed it. To me, Wolf of Wall Street isn't so much Casino, it's Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.

Is that Phaedrus?!

I came around, at last, to watching The Wolf of Wall Street. I hadn't expected it to be as racously funny as it was. Somewhere I thought it'd go more along the lines of a Casino, that really hits you when it all goes to shit. Wolf never ceases with its fascinating, ironic and outrageous showcase of debauchery and vile, vile temptations. Wondrous.

There's also more than smidgeon of Kofi Annan about you.

Skip to 28:00 for choir action!

If your neck had been approximately twice as long, you could've been Marek's double.

I am become The Witchest (2). I was surprised to see I pumped 30 hours in there and enjoyed myself all the way through. When I look back at any of the parts and elements of this game in isolation, they're pretty bad. Gameplay-wise. The stealth is bad, the combat is meh and the crafting I rarely used and wasn't fun. So many systems are quite useless: for instance the day/night cycle, which is hardly noticeable and rarely used. The story was moderately fun but convoluted. I'd say the things that make it shine are the moral choices, which have a pretty huge effect on how things transpire, and the characters, some of which are fun and voiced excellently. (Others are awful.) And yet! I was totally captivated by the thing. Weird. Is this the 'Witcher Effect'? One last thing: the opening cinematic is fan-tas-tic. It's exciting, funny, gorgeous. This is how you do it.
